The Shaneeswara Ksheathram and
the Navagraha Peedam. This is unique and is the
only Ksheathram in Kerala (which is located at
Kuruppumthara, Kanjirathanam P.O.Kottayam Dist.
Kerala-686603) dedicated to Lord Shaneedev where
he is a blessing God having "Abhayahastham". There
is a misconception that there are Shani Shrines
located in various places in Kerala.The greatness
of the Shaneeswara Ksheathram is attributed to the
unique idol of Lord Shani as he stands blessing
the devotee Abhayahastham.

Shani is considered to be the Strongest Malefic Planet as well as a Good Teacher who represents Patience, Efforts, Endeavour and Endurance and even brings Misfortunes. However, a favorably placed Shanidev in horoscope of a person gives a strong career, healthy life and everything positive for that person. Shani placed unfavorably on the other hand brings troubles. Any Pleasure or Pain that takes place during Shani's influence is not by chance rather it is the result of the person's own karma. Thus an unfavorably placed Shani gives harsh results of one's . bad karma, and vice-versa.
